What Items Need to Be Affixed to a New Car?
3 Answers
New cars require the following items to be affixed: vehicle inspection compliance label, compulsory traffic insurance label, and temporary vehicle license plate. Temporary Vehicle License Plate: Two temporary license plates should be affixed simultaneously. One should be placed in the upper right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, and should not be covered by labels such as the compulsory insurance label. The other should be affixed in the upper left corner of the rear windshield inside the car. For other types of vehicles where installation conditions are limited, only one temporary license plate is required, but it should be affixed in the lower left or lower right corner of the front windshield inside the car, in a position that does not obstruct the driver's view, to ensure driving safety. Vehicle Annual Inspection Label: The upper right corner of the front windshield should display not only the annual inspection compliance label but also the environmental protection label and insurance label. According to traffic regulations, all vehicles on the road must affix the current year's inspection label in a prominent position on the upper right corner of the front windshield.
I just picked up my new car, and the first thing I need to do is prepare to apply a few essential items to ensure safety and compliance. The insurance sticker is a must-have; the law requires new cars to display the compulsory insurance label in the corner of the front windshield, otherwise, you may face fines if caught by traffic police. The annual inspection sticker must also be applied promptly—new cars usually need the official sticker even when using temporary plates, so don’t wait until it expires to panic. Additionally, don’t overlook the parking permit. If your residential area or workplace requires a fixed parking spot, make sure to get it properly displayed near the front windshield or rearview mirror for easy identification. Applying these stickers is simple and can be done yourself; it’s best to choose waterproof materials to avoid damage from rain. During your new car’s maintenance, have the 4S shop check if the sticker placements comply with regulations for peace of mind. After applying these basics, you can consider some personalized decorations, but make sure they don’t compromise visibility or safety.
As the only driver in the family, when buying a new car, I prioritize practical items for the windshield. The must-haves are the insurance decal and annual inspection sticker, placed in the lower right corner of the front windshield to remain clearly visible; missing these could result in fines or even towing. There's also the parking permit—with frequent comings and goings in the neighborhood, applying it in advance avoids last-minute hassles. For safety, I often stick reflective decals in the corners of the rear side windows to enhance visibility at night, especially when driving with kids for added peace of mind. As for decorations, I opt for simple family-themed decals, like static cling stickers with cute baby designs that peel off easily without damaging the paint. A 'New Driver' sticker on the rear window reminds others to keep their distance. The total cost is kept within a few dozen dollars, prioritizing durability. During regular car washes, I check if any decals have peeled off and replace them promptly to avoid fines or inconvenience.
